'down to Hendon with the boys in blue...'

A line from Cock Sparrer's song 'Riot Squad'... and a sum-up of my day today.

Today was a selection day for the role of Special Constable, for which I applied some time ago. Today involved a written test, an interview and two role-play exercises at the Police Training School at Hendon.

Seemed to go ok, so we'll see!

Still no computer...

Japanese giant English school NOVA has folded, leaving 4000 instructors jobless... 300,000 students are also in the dark. That's from Asahi

Thoughts on London / Japanese

London...

My first time living here, and I love the city. I feel so relaxed on the tubes and in the stations.

Bodes well for if I get my license for busking!

Had my first Japanese class today, all the way out in Southgate. 1 hr by tube. But again, I don't mind. Gives me chance to read, study, listen to music, and people-watch.

Tomorrow, journeys by buses. Oxford Circus to Hendon, Hendon to Northwick Park. Exciting!
